Star Citizen showcases how the impressive tech that enables the creation of Coruscant-like procedural cities was achieved in a new video.

The latest CitizenCon marked a step up in the dreams of many fans of Star Citizen. When I saw a ship fly over a massive planet-sized city that was very similar to Star Wars’ Coruscant, I felt happy to be living in an era in which technology makes something like this possible.

While Star Citizen isn’t ready for prime time, it’s hard not to admire the ambition that has prompted its team to push the boundary of technology, creating visions of a future game that, if realized, could be a real step up in what we consider feasible.

For now, the team released a new video explaining how the technology was achieved. Starting from a tool able to build a procedural version of Paris, until now, when we can see Arcorp rendered in real time.
